You are absolutely right in your self diagnosis. However, you should also be aware that these are the kind of piles that can be taken care of quite easily. Commonly known as hemorrhoids, these can be taken care of by making some simple changes.


If your pains are continuous, then this is the first thing you should tackle. An excellent way to get temporary relief from the pains you are suffering is to apply cold compresses. If you do this off and on for a day, you will find that you have managed to get relief from the pain to a very large extent.


But this is only a temporary measure. You should also work towards healing yourself totally. This will also be of great help in not only providing relief but also in making sure that you do not aggravate your situation further. You can heal properly if you make a paste of turmeric powder and rose water and keep applying this frequently to your anus. Turmeric powder has healing and anti septic properties, while rose water will soothe your pains.

You have mentioned that you apply pressure to pass your stools. This needs to be addressed as well. The first question to ask is whether you are passing hard stools. If you are, then you need to tackle this problem. Because if you continue to pass hard stools, then you will only aggravate your hemorrhoids and worsen them. There will be no cure in sight for you then. You can do this by taking a high fiber and low carbohydrate diet. This is the best way to introduce roughage into your system. Milk is also a mild laxative, and if you take this at night before bedtime, you will find that you will pass stools more comfortably and without straining the next morning. Figs are also an excellent laxative. When taking along with your warm milk, they will work extremely well. If you are suffering from constipation, you will also find that a teaspoon of castor oil chased with hot water or milk can also do very well for you. To get relief from the pain in your anus, you can apply witch hazel to the entire area. Leave this on for best results. You can also apply this product as frequently as possible, since it is completely natural and also very gentle and mild. Follow these methods for quick and effective relief from your pain and hemorrhoids.
